Maui Very Weak
On Postal Savings
WASHINGTON That the Hawaii
ana are thrifty and chuck away a few
dollars for the rainy day is demon
strated by the report just made on
the operations of the Postal Savings
system It Is further shown that this
habit has been steadily growing. The
eipht ottiees In the territory had this
status on January 2, 1914:
Office. Depositors. Amount.
Hilo 17 $ 1,674
Honolulu 245 " 37,289
Lahaina 2 2
Paia 4 167
Schofield Barracks ..180 16,571
Waialua . 38 3,484
Wailuku 1 1
Waipahu 7 179
At the end of the fiscal year of 1916
there was an aggregate of 409 deposit
ors. For the fiscal year concluding
June 30, 1917, the number had grown
to 494. a gain of 85.
When the fiscal year 1916 ended the
total of deposits was $38,452. On
June 30. 1917.the deposits had in
creased to 159,547. The development
in the nature of small savings com
pares favorably with other sections
of the country.
What Huber May Do
In The Das Case
The Honolulu Star-Bulletin has the
following concerning Judge Edings'
decison in the Das naturalization
case:
With. Saranghadhar'Das, a Hindu
residing on Maui, proclaimed an
American citizen under a decision
handed down recently by Circuit
Judge W. S. Edings, District Attorney
S. C. Huber will report the incident
to the commissioner of naturalization
in Washington and await his instruc
tions as to what further steps shall
be taken.
Das, who was called to San Fran
cisco as a witness in the Hindu rebel
lion conspiracy, in which George Ro
diek and H. A. Schroeder were in
dicted, will have to come to Honolulu
and take his oath in the local federal
court.
District Attorney Huber points out
that, as far as a majority of authori
ties are concerned, there is no ap
peal from a naturalization case by
the government. He says he will lay
the entire matter before the-natur-alization
commission, who may in
struct the local office either to appeal
or present a motion for the cancella
tion of the court order declaring Das
an American citizen. Attorney Hu
ber will take action which ever way
the commissioner decides.

I -the head of the endeavor on Maui.
I Th appointments were made and

' mond, head of the department at San
Francisco.
Attempt To Make
Oahu Dry Island
Following is the famous Wakefield
resolution, the Intention of which is
to make Oahu "dry" during the
period of the war, which was passed
by unanimous vote of the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce:
Resolution
"Wherp.m rnntrrpRS hv Section 12
of the Act nf Mav. 18. 1917. makes
it unlawful to have intoxicating
liquors at any military station, or to
sell any intoxicating liquor to any
omcer or member or tne military
forces while In uniform; and
"Whereas the clear intent of con
gress in enactine this legislation was
to prevent our military forces from
procuring ana using intoxicating
liquors during the war In order to
thereby increase the efficiency of the
army by raising its physical and
moral standard; and
"Whereas there is In the City and
County of Honolulu at the several
mllitnrv nosts a larce number of offi
cers and enlisted men among whom
are a greatly increasing number or
new recruits; and
"Whereas the conditions in said
Cit v and County of Honolulu are such
that tho effective enforcement of the
provisions of said Section ii are
practically impossible while such
liquor is permitted to De soia; ana
"Whereas said Section 12 provides
that the President of the United
States, as Commander in Chief of the
Army, is authorized to make such reg
nlntions covering the prohibition of
aleholic liquors in or near by military
camps and to the otlicerg or ennstea
men of the army as he may from
time to time deem necessary or ad
visable; "Now therefore be it resolved by
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
thnt wo mnst nrcentlv recom
mend that the President exercise his
said authority by issuing a regulation
prohibiting the sale or intoxicating
liquors in the City and County of Ho
nolulu for the period of the war, to
fVio onrt flint fhp. mii-nose desired by
congress may be attained; also that
the civilian population of the City and
County of Honolulu may be physically
fit to efflcientlv comDlv with the de
mands the federal government may
make upon tnem.

The Maui Horse Loses
In Race At Honolulu
The Star-Bulletin thus reported the
final race between McPhee'a Mary
Jay and Umpqua, at Honolulu:
Louis Warren's Umpqua not only
beat Mary Jay, belonging to Angus
McPhce, in a match mile race at Ka-
piolani Park Saturday afternoon, but
equalled the time set by Oneonta in
a match race with Satisfax of 1:43 4-5,
a year or more ago. Over five hund
red racing fans were on hand to wit
ness the test.
Running Start
Instead of the barrier the old-style
running start was used. After two
3?
false breaks, the horses got away to a
fair start Umpqua perhaps a length
to the good. Before the eighth Mary
Jay had forged ahead and up to the
I
five-eighths held the lead. At this
point Umpqua got her second wind
and forged into the front. It was pie
8
after that; the Warren horse coming
under the wire eight lengths to the
good.
Charlie Tyler rode the winner,
while Benny Rollins was up on Mary
Jay. It was in June, 1916, that Satis
I
fax made the mile in 1:40, the best
Hawaiian track time, and later lost to
Oneonta In a match race in which the
time was 1:43 4-5.'
Saturday's race proved that Mary
Jay Is the better horse over the flve
fighths distance, but no speed-ball
over the mile. Billy Lucas had
charge of Mary Jay for the Saturday
race, Angus McPhee having announc
ed his retirement from the racing
game previously.

Fraternal Orders
And The War Loans
(Published by request of the bureau
of publicity of the Treasury Depart
ment.) Representatives of fraternal Insur
ance organizations and societies from
every part of the United States at a
meeting in Washington called by Sec
retary of the Treasury McDoo on
December 13 agreed to form War Sav
ings associations and to conduct econ
omy and savings campaigns all over
the country and themselves invest
and urge others to invest in Govern
ment War Loans.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing to the respective organizations of
the representatives present that they
ratify and indorse the meeting in its
purpose and cooperate in the cam
paigns for War Savings and Liberty
Loans.
The enlistment of the united and
active support of fraternal organiza
tions in the campaign for economy
and saving is a most hopeful sign.
The fraternal societies of the United
States wield a tremendous influence
and form a body of citizens which is
a great factor in our national life as
well as in their respective localities.
The value of their active cooperation
and assistance in the War Savings
campaign will be incalculable.
